Film director D. W. Griffith adapted ''The Clansman'' for the screen in ''The Birth of a Nation'' (1915). The film inspired the creators of the 20th-century rebirth of the Klan.

The Misleading Widow
''The Misleading Widow'' (1919) is a silent film comedy directed by John S. Robertson and starring Billie Burke. The film is based on the play ''Billeted'' by F. Tennyson Jesse and H. M.

She reports that he is dead to obtain insurance money.

The Lincoln Cycle
''The Lincoln Cycle'' is a 1917 American silent series of ten short films portraying the life of American president Abraham Lincoln. They were directed by John M. Stahl and starred Benjamin Chapin, a celebrated Lincoln impersonator, in the title role. All except two episodes survive in the Library of Congress archives. It was also released as ''The Son of Democracy''. Chapin had appeared as Lincoln for many years, and had set up his own production company with the intention of making a film based on his own 1906 play ''Lincoln''. Following the enormous commercial success of D. W. Griffith's ''The Birth of a Nation'', the potential of another play related to the American Civil War allowed Chapin to plan an ambitious epic series of films, rather than a single feature. He hired young filmmaker John Stahl to direct. It initially began shooting at studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey before shifting to Ridgefield Park. Location shooting took place around New Jersey, with some shots also t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
